Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Insert a user input string after matched string in file Post 303022501 by tomislav91 on Sunday 2nd of September 2018 05:04:07 AM

Code:
#!/bin/bash

read -p 'Enter number [1-8]: ' uservar
match='<color="red" \/>'

text='this is only a test
so please be patient
<color="red" />'

echo "$text" | sed "s/$match/&\n$uservar/"

------ Post updated at 04:04 AM ------

I will deal with cases and echo (just for test, idea is to put into file) to see results
Code:
#case $uservar in
 # 1) echo "$text" | sed "s/$match/&$uservar/" ;;
 # 2) echo -e "\nYou are 2" ;;
 # *) echo dont know ;;
#esac
